The rational male audible6/12/2023 We need a reference manual for all dating coaches, relationship experts, as well as married men and would-be players. We need a modern Game textbook based on empirical 21st-century data, not emotional hopefulness. While the rapid conditions of that marketplace are in constant change, the human-machine does not. Game is an adaptive set of social skills and best practices in navigating intersexual dynamics in a modern sexual marketplace. It’s not an instruction manual- it is the missing textbook on Game and understanding intersexual dynamics. The Players Handbook is not a " how-to" book, it's a " why-it-works" book. In this final master-work of The Rational Male series, Rollo Tomassi breaks down the fundamental mechanics of Game, intersexual social skills, and the nuts and bolts psychology that makes it work.

The Edge of the Abyss by Emily Skrutskie6/11/2023 Complicating it all is a pirate girl named Swift, whose life and future become bound up with Cas’s even as the former Reckoner trainer seeks to escape her floating prison and expose the black market Reckoner trade. All that changes when she’s taken captive by pirates and forced to birth and train a black market Reckoner pup for her captors…or face death. The Abyss Surrounds Us (2016): Cassandra Leung, or Cas, has fought pirates her whole life, training genetically engineered beasts called Reckoners to protect seafaring commercial vessels from pirate attacks in the NeoPacific. But like the Tardis, they’re bigger on the inside and a doorway to epic adventures. Don’t be fooled by the size! Coming in at around 280 pages each in paperback, they’re shorter than your average YA tome. To be frank, I’m impressed with how much character work happens in such a small amount of space. Do you like pirates? How about queer pirates? How about female protagonists of color? Sea monsters? Moral ambiguity that doesn’t create false equivalences and actually informs characters personalities and choices? Dynamite, page-turning action? What about slow burn, complicated romances with a healthy dose of fic tropes like bed sharing, enemies to friends to lovers, handcuffed together, matching tattoos, and clothes sharing? Then Emily Skrutskie’s The Abyss Surrounds Us and The Edge of the Abyss are the books for you! Beauty awakened by gena showalter6/11/2023 She and her twin sister Lalia are both sick.

Koldo – we learned really only that he was an angel who had his wings ripped off while young, too young for them to regenerate in the first book.
Laini taylor books in order6/11/2023 Taylor manages her self-imposed challenge with aplomb." "It's to Taylor's great credit that evil incarnate and its love match in Daughter of Smoke and Bone are such imaginative interpretations and that the worlds in which this romance unfolds are likewise so unique: Telling a tale this apocryphal requires serious outside-the-box plot work to pull off. the world-building descriptions and language stop your heart and then, like a defibrillator, start it up again."

Revelations of divine love pdf6/10/2023 Written in a vigorous English vernacular, the Revelations are one of the most original works of medieval mysticism and have had a lasting influence on Christian thought. Through her experiences, she identifies the female nature of Christ's suffering, the motherhood of God, and, using images from domestic daily life, emphasizes the homeliness of God's love. Through these ‘showings’, Christ’s sufferings were revealed to her with extraordinary intensity, but she also received assurance of God’s unwavering love for man and his infinite capacity for forgiveness. After fervently praying for a greater understanding of Christ’s passion, she experienced a series of divine revelations. ‘Just because I am a woman, must I therefore believe that I must not tell you about the goodness of God?’Coming from a society where women were barred from serious writing and teaching, Julian, a fourteenth-century mystic and anchoress in the great medieval city of Norwich, nevertheless used the English vernacular of the day to describe an extraordinary series of "showings" that she received from God. |
